Closed-end lapis Jr Gent

[redfishsc]

Trustone Lapis with black ti Jr Gent. This is a fountain pen.

What everyone says about this color trustone is true-- it dulls out your tools QUICKLY. I did, however, have good luck setting the skew aside and using a bowl gouge for the bulk of the work.

The pic was harder to make than the pen. It isn't quite as bright blue as the pic shows. The pic seems to show sanding scratches, but it isn't, but this was the best pic I could get.

Comments on the shape?

Very nicely done. That's sharp looking.

I like the shape. For some reason, on the clsoed end ones, I don't like the more rounded ends- I like a shape more like this.

Great pen! I love that blue.

Thanks all! This stuff is every bit as hard to turn as people say. Dulls out your tools fiercely.
